Thanks so much for watching! I hope you found this video on Hardcover vs Paperback for your Children's Book helpful. If you’re planning to write a children’s book, let me know! I can’t wait to cheer you on!
I love the insight that the best reason to make a book hardcover is if it’s meant to be bought as a gift
I'm so happy you found this helpful, Jared!!
Exactly the information I’ve been looking for
That's so wonderful to hear, Amanda!
this is unbelievably helpful! thank you! I have subscribed and will watch all your videos
That's so wonderful to hear, Laura!
Thanks for all the insights and details.
You're so very welcome!
Thanks, Eevi! This video was very helpful!
That is so wonderful to hear! Thank you so much, George!
EXACTLY WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR! 1000 thanks! You have a new subscriber! I will share with you our (my wife and I) first children's book once we figure all this out. We are so excited! Thank you again for this valuable information.
I'm so happy to hear you've found this helpful, Mike! I wish you and your wife so much fun with the creation of your very own children's book!
Hi Eevi 🖖! Love your videos 😇! They are so helpful! Would you have a video on how to find a reputable overseas offset printer? It is useful to have copies of our book on hand when we do readings in schools, in libraries, in daycares and want to offer copies for sale. Also when we rent a kiosk at a market. Sure, it is an upfront cost, but the profit per book is interesting. Also, the image print quality is much better as is the quality of the paper and finishing.
Hi Deb! I believe a share a link to a printer in the description of this video (calculator). Other than that, I wouldn't know anyone I would feel comfortable recommending. For author copies for in-person events, I just posted a new video this past Sunday as well. I so hope this helps!
The best book tutorial I have ever watched!
Thank you so, so much!
You are so informative. Thank you
I'm so happy to hear this, Mary!
I always had my heart set on a hardcover. I never thought about it this way.
Thanks so much for watching! I'm so happy to see that my short video gave you a bit more insight!
This is very kind of you. Thanks for this valuable tutorial. I just finished writing a storybook and am not sure what the next step is. I just subscribed to your page and look forward to learning more
I'm so happy you found me and hope my videos and/ or my How To book will help you along the way!
Thank you so much for this video, packed with info! I will definitely watch more of your videos. I already have one of my books on Amazon (Dagbjort Asgeirsdottir), but aim at publishing more of my books. Greetings, from Iceland 😊
I'm so happy to hear you found this helpful, Dagbjort! Happy Saturday!
Following everything you are saying. Continue the excellent work for new and established authors. John
Thank you so much, John!!
Thank you Eevi for sharing your knowledge. I would love to do a hardcover book but will stick with a paperback.
You're so very welcome, MJ!
Thank you again, Eevi, you are a treasure trove of useful information. After searching many brick & mortar bookstores and large department store book sections for "desirable children's book formats" I had come to the conclusion that paperback was just not wanted or acceptable to the p[ublic. You have corrected my view with an intelligent, experienced eye. Thank you again.
You're so, so welcome, Tobias!!
Great tips as usual, Eevi. Thank you! ❤ By the way, is that a cymbal behind you? Do you or your boys play the drums? 😊
I'm so, so glad you found this helpful. Thanks so much, Anna! And this is a cymbal! My youngest plays the drums :)
Love your videos they’re great! I am struggling, Is my paperback and hardcover manuscript different sizes? My paper back manuscript is all spreads looks great, but I just recently received my hardback from ingramspark but for some reason it has a gap in the middle where my spreads do not connect
I'm so happy you enjoy my videos! If we choose the same trim size for our paperback and hardcover, then the interior size will be the same. Only the size for the cover sheet (back+spine+front) will differ between these two formats. I so hope this helps.
I have problem . All my interior pages prints are over saturated. Especialy blue colors. In photoshop i tried to reproduce in color proof the same print result. Nothing goes close to it. What are the exact parameters in color proof custom setup for kdp ?
Quick question . Love your video btw. If I upload a hardcover on Ingram I can link it to my amazon central ?
Thanks so much, Keisha! Yes, you can! Once you have set up your author account over on author.amazon.com/ you will be able to "claim" or add your book by searching for it via its ISBN. Good luck!
Hello Eevi, thank you so much for the video it’s very helpful. This is the first time for me creating a children’s book. I was thinking to do ebook and paperback through KDP and hardcover with Ingram and was wondering how they can all be on the same sale page on KDP!
May I ask, will it be beneficial to do ebook and paperback with KDP, and paperback (overlap) and hardcover with Ingram? Thank you so much!!!
Hi Crystal! I'm so glad it was helpful! I've copied a link to one of my videos on expanded distribution. That's would be the main reason for publishing our books via KDP, and then also over on IngramSpark: czcams.com/video/Z3gNrZysk8I/video.html
As to your question on every format showing up on the same sales page over on Amazon - as long as we are submitting our books with the exact same information (author name, title, subtitle), the linking usually happens automatically within a couple of days. I so hope this helps!
Hello.I hiredna book designer tonassist me in formatting my children's, she did so in 11x9 . Kdp said they could accommodate this landscape size in paperback but I was misinformed. Ingram can accommodate an 11x 8.5. My designer can adjust. Is there a service to assist in uploading to Ingram spark?
Hello, Eevi I have been looking at hardcovers for my childrens book at the size 8.5 x 11. I have been wondering if a paperback will be durable enough at the size I'd like to print? Do you know anything about this sizing by chance?
Hi Tierra! Here is a video specifically about sizing, because we will want to make sure the printing platform we decide on using has the sizes we wish to use. I hope this helps!

Hi Eevi - I've been following you for quite awhile. Have you ever used BookBaby for children's books?
Hi Tracy! I have not used BookBaby before, mainly because we can set our books up for absolutely free over on KDP and/ or IngramSpark. I hope this helps, Tracy!
I wrote my book 25 years ago, and I’m publishing as soon as I can pull all this together. I want it published in multiple formats.
That's great to hear, Tom! Good luck!
@@EeviJones thank you. Just a lot to look over and consider
What do you suggest for board books?
As of right now, I'm not aware of any cost-effective board book providers that print on demand (POD). Here, the best option would probably be off-site printing.
What about board books? Who does those?
Thanks so much for reaching out! Here we go: czcams.com/video/120FgdRNAMY/video.html
I cant with a Childrens book with 72 pages!!!
Make sure to watch the video, @XandiBoi!!

Hi Carolyn! Uploading our books onto IngramSpark is very similar to uploading it onto KDP, so if you can upload it onto KDP, I'm confident you can do IS as well.
